the first thing we were asked for was 60 euros a deposit for the room which was returnable on day of departure also 30 euros for safety deposit box of which 3 was returned. the food was fine if you like fish although there was always cold meat and salads on offer.The staff were good at their job although sometimes thought they done very long shifts and needed a day off. The music at the pool area was very loud usually spanish depending which member of staff was on the area round the pool was always wet even at night when there was entertainment on. the apartments were spotless and air conditioned which was nice. There was plenty pubs round about with good music and food and drink reaonably priced. The beach was lovely but you had to be careful as there were a lot of rocks. we went a boat trip to peacock island which is a nice couple of hours in the sun. When out for lunch we usually went to The Jaggy Thistle it's clean cheap and the staff are very friendly well worth a visit.

had a good time nice and clean...

With 4 kids aged 12-3, my holidays are always challenging!



On approach, Benidorm looks intimidating with so many skyscrapers but you soon get used to it.



Reception area of apartments very smart and official. Lift to floor always worked so no problems there.



Apartments are of acceptable quality if nothing special. The double sofa bed in sitting room was best folding bed I have had abroad. Decent quality, size, and comfortable mattress. Folds back into sofa with ease. Like most Spanish apartments the walls are not particularly thick and you live in permanent hope of quiet neighbours past the love-making and/or heavy drinking stage. Not too much noise from surrounding buildings, most bars wind down at 12 o clock.



At start of holiday one gang of loud twenty-year olds were noisy at outside bar/pool area, but this was quickly nipped in the bud - they were banned from pool area and there was no more nuisance. The staff do appear to take complaints seriously.



Terra Mticca theme park nearby is worth a visit - not quite as good as Port Aventura (e.g. no midnight show), but still pretty good.



We spent a lot of evenings in nearby bar "The Cellar" which is orientated for children - varied children's entertainment every night, Karaoke, pool, etc. Good fun, but not a place for adults wanting a quiet drink. There are plenty other nearby bars for that.



Apartment 5 minutes walk from beach. Beach was a big disappointment for our family. There are rocky outcrops in the shallow part of the sea which makes it difficult to lark around in water. So unlike Alcudia, Majorca where it's all endless shallow water and sand, sand, sand.



If you've never been to Benidorm before the beauty of it is that there's plenty to do provided you are prepared to spend on excursions. Otherwise, it's just bars, restaurants and swimming - but plenty to choose from.



During the day we spent a lot of time in pool (as beach was rocky). There's games such as water-polo some of the time (well controlled by rep) when anyone can join in. He did his best to remind everyone to let the children have fun, and not have adults taking over. We just couldn't beat those Icelandic’s!



Would I recommend - yes, if you're on a low budget you can have a good time here. Only downsides are the rocky areas in sea and noise through apartment walls if you're unlucky enough to be sleeping in lounge (grab a bedroom if you can!). Get into the spirit, enjoy a drink, try the excursions and hopefully you should enjoy yourself. There's plenty to do.

Had a great time the kids...

Had a great time the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves and there is a great pub across the road called the White Horse where they have live entertainment and then a disco on till 2.30 in the morning.



There is also bingo across the road at the plaza where they play for money which is good for you all bingo lovers.



The hotel is great too the only problem is there is no air conditioning so if you are going in June July or august be prepared, but you can hire out fans at the reception if you require them.



Overall our holiday was great and I would definitely go back again.

Also I must just say our rep was Rebecca and she was the most helpful and nicest person and me and my 2 children loved her to bits.

What fantastic apartments! We go...

What fantastic apartments! We go every year, and don’t stay anywhere else due to the location as we travel with elderly family.



We find the apartments cheap for where they are and also the standard of accommodation is very good.



The lift broke down once, to which a dwarf Spanish man armed with only a hammer and a screwdriver came to fix it. Quite amusing to watch really, especially when his legs were dangling down from the escape hatch at the top of the lift, but none the less it got fixed (with only a screwdriver and hammer I don’t know how).



Needless to say after he left I took the lift up to the room and it broke again, this time with me in it. I hate lifts and the man asked me what I wanted when I pressed the emergency bell, I replied a vodka and coke if you can.



I was quite luckily really, as I'd been to the toilet and had groceries in my bag, so I made a sandwich to pass the time. I was only stuck in there for about an hour and was pretty sad to leave when they came to free me. It looked like picnic with all the crumbs and bits.



It’s less than 100m from the Triangle, white horse and the cellar pub up in the Rincon De Loix area and only 5 minutes walk from the main part and the beach.



I got a bit cheeky one year and flew out to see my mum who was staying at the apartments, and the man on reception had no problem with me staying in the room on the couch until I wanted to go home even, though he knew it would be 9 days later!



He's got a bit used to me after all the times we have been, to which we class him as more of a close friend than just an employee of the apartments.



Reception staff are fantastic and will do anything to help you. Levante beach apartments are owned by the same company that has Levante club hotel across the road, and also Levante lux apartments further up the road. Guests have use of the Levante club's indoor pool also.



The only gripe is as I mainly travel with my partner and daughter who is an infant; we have to get a 6 bed room as they won’t put a cot in the studio room, so we only go with family as a price we generated was £1000 for all of us for a week.



We time it to travel around the festivities of Easter which are fantastic and a must see for anyone!



If you want beautiful accommodation, for a good price with an excellent location these apartments are a must. You won’t be sorry at all!

My wife and I went to Levante club in July 2006. We both think that the apartments were lovely and clean in a good location up a slight slope but nothing to complain about.



The staff were very friendly nothing was too much trouble for them there was a good choice of food on menu. Self service which we thought was good as you could have as little or as much as you wanted. There are a few pubs near even bingo if that is to your liking there is even a British shop.



The only thing we missed was air con as our block didn’t have any but other blocks did but we went to reception and we hired a fan, no problem not too expensive. Can’t remember how much but worth every penny as it was very hot.



We really enjoyed our stay there would go again not to noisy but not far from all the night life.

This was the second year running...

This was the second year running went back to levante beach apartments. and the service this year has improved, the hotel staff are friendly and speak good English. the Pool is always clean and the apartments were clean and tidy.



The situation is Just Idea for any age group as you have three excellent Pubs that are staggering distant back to the hotel.



And this year I stayed out and the teenagers went back to the apartments they know were to find me and could see them as they waves from the balcony window.



It a short walk to Burger King and Mc Ds plus the beach. although quite a hill to walk back up after laying in the sun all day.



Its that good booked up for next year to go back there again.
